    I've asked before, long in the past, but it is something I find would be important to address.

    The blackhat methods and selling them at Digitalpoint is allowed because it hits a little bit of a gray area of rules.

    I'm hoping its time to put blackhat deals at DP in the restricted list.

    The thing about blackhat is the whole meaning of it is to try to cheat, steal, and rig something to grab a few bucks. These blackhat guys/girls obviously have no respect for business and are willing to steal their way to the top using all of these tricks to not be caught.

    We we ready to ban this yet?:)

    What is wrong for you is right for others.

    I would perhaps prefer that correct information is provided in threads especially those selling fake traffic as real on the forums.

    Ok, not wrong and right for people as an individual, more like wrong and right as a society, and it just so happens that secretly trying to cheat and steal adsense clicks and what not rips off advertisers who are paying for a service while the publisher is working to rip them off through google.

    When people say "blackhat" in the topic in an offer I'd say that's good enough. While were at it heck, DP should ban people for trying to promote those programs that are for spamming random forums all over the internet too.:)

    Thing is the publishers also cry why they get 1 cent clicks through advertisers who try to monopolize on the system.

    I have seen cases where advertisers try to cheat system so as to gain from publishers.

    In the end both sides are affected.

    Its true that advertisers do manipulate the system too, but we shouldn't allow people to join together in dp using idea's to cheat with blackhat. If there was such a thing as advertising blackhat where people find a way you get free clicks and cheat through adsense it shouldn't be allowed either.

    This was already addressed this week in another thread:

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=13265724&postcount=13

    That already does violate the rules. If you see something like that, please report it.
